No. I've never read any Star Wars stuff.

They just released a huge anthology collection of stories from various side-characters.

Interesting. Maybe I'll check them out.

As will I. For me the nostalgia factor weighs heavy in this series. The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi may be the first two movies I ever saw. And I've seen them many times. I hated the ones with Jar Jar Binks but the last couple have been solid. The only thing they're missing is a character with the charisma of Han Solo. His one-liners in the first three episodes were gold.

The problem is it would be too much CGI, as they'd have to shoot pretty much the whole thing against a green screen.

Justice League trailer > Star Wars trailer

I got mine for me, twife, daughter, nephews and BIL, for Thursday the 14th at 8pm. Had to opt for a second choice theater though, and without only regular 3D, not the larger format.

They definitely didn't wait until after the trailer at half time to start selling. I got on with about 2 minutes left in the half, and everything for Thursday at my go to theater (Cinemark) prior to 10pm only had single tickets, nothing together. It's a school night, so we weren't going to do one that late.

Star Wars fans take the franchise much too seriously to ever joke about any characters, except Uncle Owen. Man, that dude was a selfish prick.

Where do I even start? Like I said, he was a selfish prick. Only cared about himself and his crops, wouldn't let Luke join his friends at school, and in the bedroom, only lasted long enough for his own enjoyment. Poor Aunt Beru never once had an orgasm.

Ok, that looks pretty good. I thought the first movie (can't even remember the name but the one that came out 2 years ago) was overrated nostalgia rubbish with some of the worst overacting in the history of film. But the trailer for this new one looks good. I like when they take a darker turn.

Like Roc said, I'm going to be pissed if this just rips off Empire Strikes Back.

Fuckin Luke better not die and he better be an ass whipping jedi master who is actually central to the advancement of the plot and not just Yoda 2.0.

Here's my theory.

Luke is still the most powerful being in the galaxy, hence Snoke being afraid of him in TFA.

He is afraid of making the same mistakes with Rey that led to Kylo/Ben turning evil, it shattered his world I think, especially since it was his own nephew.

Snoke ends up being disappointed with Kylo Ren as a whole, and thus turns his attention to Rey and tries to seduce her. Kylo smashing his helmet is after a scene like this, I think. He fails to kill his mother, and the First Order does it for him, with the result of him going rogue and being good again.

Luke goes to rescue Rey, and Snoke wants Kylo to fight him, but cannot after what happened to Leia. Luke tells Kylo how Darth Vader saved him, and Luke can save Kylo now.

I have this feeling Rey becomes evil and Kylo and Luke will unite to try and save her from Snoke's temptations.

by **Rocinante** 2017-10-10, 11:31

That sounds... ok.

by **Death Roe** 2017-10-10, 11:35

I mean, it wouldn't be a complete ripoff of Empire.

If he dies, he will become more powerful than you can imagine.

Is the Last Jedi one person, or is Jedi plural?

What if they find another Jedi after The Last Jedi?

Return of the Jedi?
